Thanks @ladyguinivere maybe I shd do Germany with my mum then.. she has a seminar sometimes middle of the year,she was there last year,its a gospel seminar once a year..
As I be lady na.. I no fit propose to myself..lol and I can't tell my guy to propose because I wan collect usa visa..lol
But really if not for my sis that wants me to come with them.. I have no biz in usa.. I don't see the fun traveling alone

@chloe7 I'm employed already, wanted to go with my employment letter but since I already filled my masters as my present status, I just dropped it,marriage isn't my decision alone to make so I don't knw when that will come up,and why waste money to go to where I don't feel like going or knows no one cos of usa visa..I really want to go with my sis and her kids for the family vacation, it really pained her,she said she will shift the vacation to December instead of easter as planned and I'll probably reapply like Sept/October,if marriage comes in btw as I wished and prayed,fine,if not does it mean if I apply with my new job,without marriage and other travel history, is it another waste of money or I shd just sit my ass back home?

So the worst of my fear happened... we were splitted.. my sister and her kids were given and I was refused.. the man didn't really ask much

After getting our thumbprint
V.O who has the children
My sis: they are mine
VO: ok typed and typed then looked up..you are sisters right?
My sis and i: yes
VO to me) what do you do : I'm running through my masters program in mass communication, I have interest in the media
VO: have you been out of the country before?
Me : yes I've been to some WA countries.. ghana,togo,republic of benin and dubai
VO : flipped through my passport pages and put it aside ,then took my sis passport and flipped through, Madam you ve been to the uk twice with your family
My sis: yes
VO: what do you do
My sis : I am an operations manager in xxxxx bank
VO: front or back
My sis: back,i handle xxxxx
VO : how much do you earn
My sis: 669,000
VO: ok sorry I'll have to makke a split decision at this moment, you and your children can proceed with your traveling plans, your sister isn't eligible right now

Sad but God knows best... I recently got a job with multi vintage media.. salary is 180k can I apply again like 6months after so we can go for the family trip by December?

emjayfay:


I submitted for dropbox today without uploading my picture. I kept getting an error message so I just 'jejely' concluded the application.

thanks ma but this is my 1st time

OmoBendel24:


No need uploading. Just complete and submit your DS160 form without it for now. But, go take a passport picture (to specification oh) between 500-700 naira and take the hardcopy with you to the interview. That's all!

Thanks sir/ma..we already took the passport as specified,imagine they collected 1k from each of us.. they said submitting without uploading passport ends last year that they ve started uploading this year...shd we try submitting without the passport?

Help! .. we ve been finding it difficult to upload our passport photograph for the past 4 days and our appointment date is close by.. its saying "image colour may be unnatural or grayscale"

Wow... Lady G may God bless u,bless your brain,bless everything that surrounds you.. for your detailed answers

Note: I am actually the younger sis,using sis loventina's phone.. I think I can relate with a lot of issues here

1. My elder sis has forgotten what she read in the refusal letter o,she doesn't even knw where she kept it,shes with me now,after reading ur replies, she's really looking through the whole documents she piled up for the app.. she really took it non challantly then

2. She's really happy abt the statement of acct reply cos this is the only reason she hasn't picked date,she thinks since we are five,the VO may be tempted to ask for the statement and she's happy with the fact that my app won't affect hers.

I'm totally dependent on her,i live with them and she's responsible for most of my fees,shes going to be my sponsor. I use to work before I started my masters programme but not anymore some of the money I saved is gonna be used on the trip as well

We are planning a 10 day trip during easter hols so it won't affect my programme and do I need to get a letter from my sch or just my sch ID will do? And we have our birth certificates for proof of relationship, pls what other docs do u think might be needed..

and thanks again for the reply that my ans shdnt be helping out with the kids cos initially the ans I prepared for that question is that
"i also don't wanna miss out on the fun from the famiy trip especially when it's my sis that's making the offer as it will even help to lessen the stress of she alone with 3 kids" (I feel this will justify why she's sponsoring me) so how do you think I can tackle this

the main reason I want to visit is just for tour and have fun and applying with them will be a whole lot better than applying alone.. or are you saying applying with them doesn't boost my chances?

Hello all.. Happy New Year, Great work here Lady G,seyewest,cozybunch,nife(sth) and co

On behalf of my elder sister and my younger sister,the two of them no allow us rest.. my younger sis 28yrs running her masters programmes in EKSU,single wants to accompany my elder sis 34 years,married with 3 kids (banker) to the states for the easter vac

My elder sis initially promised one of her kids(her eldest,11) a vac to Disneyworld if she could win a particular (well known,recognised) national scholarship competition and which she won and she's got a scholarship to her university level..

question 1,is it really necessary to tell the VO all ds details as a reason for their travelling or she shd just mention Vacation cos this my sis already planned going to the embassy with all my nieces awards and all and ready to explain how she won each stages,from state to national, how she got 79 schools beaten down

Question 2,my younger sis wants to go with them hence made the suggestion to include my elder sis other two kids(4 and 2) in the application to make her travelling with the family justifiable as to help out with the kids.. is it really justifiable?

Question 3,my elder sis already applied to usa twice 2yrs ago and was refused,1st interview she was asked if pregnant and she said no which she was but she was either scared or nervous or I don't knw y she lied sha,she wasn't even well prepared..she went a month after well prepared with lots of confidence but wasn't even asked much,the VO just smiled and said "you were here a month ago"and got refused instantly(i guessd they sensed some desperation) in the form she's filling now,she doesn't knw what reason to write as to why she was been refused the 1st and 2nd time,we only assumed mayb it's because of the lie abt the pregnancy which is even obvious because she had her 3rd child afterwards and she's applying with her now

Question 4.. my elder sis had already been to uk twice with her 1st two kids and my younger sis dubai once.. my elder sis is scared that my younger sis lack of hometies(masters student and single) and travel history will affect her application the 3rd time while my younger sis is scared my elder sis's previous refusals will affect her 1st time usa visa app which she doesn't have any choice tho,once my elder sis is refused,her app is automatically refused cos my elder sis is her sponsor but she's scared if this won't affect her future applications..and if they feel my younger sis,a student,28 and single isn't qualified, will it affect my elder sis and her kids or she alone will be denied?

Last question.. my elder sis estimated 2m for the trip but at the time of the interview,she may not have up to that as her balance,does it really matter or is it a must she has the 2m as her balance or more?

Thanks y'all.. don't mind me I always like being detailed so you can help tackle the questions with better understanding

LadyGuinivere:

By hold em side- I meant financially.
If u plan to travel before easter. Why not apply for the actual date u intend to travel?
I think its better to apply together.

Thank you very much. May God bless you

One last question.. my password I renewed after I got married still bears my maiden name,couldn't go through the stress of change of name in abuja at that time I renewed it.. hope I'm still good to go

@ladyguinivere..
I don't knw what I was thinking to have stayed in dubai for that long o, .. oga is a contractor and a business man,mainly into real estate .. we didn't go to dubai together he came to visit me once and I didn't work there, I was just touring the whole UAE with two of my siblings that works there

When u say oga should hol'em side,you mean I shd travel alone? I heard one stands a better chance when you apply as couple, how true is that?

I'll be applying for easter vacation, is it too early to book appointment now and will I have any ish at POE if I decide to travel earlier like a month b4 easter

LadyGuinivere I ve been thinking hard if there is a smarter way to go around it without mentioning I am on suspension,so I decided to ask here and gather knowledge .. the issue may not arise especially when my coy is even ready to give me necessary docs (I feared they won't initially) but I'm 99% sure once the VO sights my exit and entry date on my pp,he will ask why I was in dubai for 3months.. if only the VO may be patient to hear my epistle but I feel once I mention the word suspension the VO will def feel uncomfortable

And yes I am still ok financially to afford a month trip

Hi chloe7 ladyguiniver and justwise

Pls which is preferable.. travel with my husband for vacation we got married early this year,no kids yet OR travel alone and hubby stays behind for home tie sake. I am the travel freak.. my hubby doesn't really care.



This question is the one bothering me more.. let me bore you with my story..something happened at my company that got me 6months suspension.. nothing illegal just a female colleague showing her level of influence cos she was rumoured to be dating the owner of the company, the two females involved were sacked and I was suspended cos I knew abt it and didn't report them simply because they were in my unit,well all na still set up ..now my point is I was devastated and got 3months visa to dubai immediately just to change environment and get myself together..now to the real deal,im back in naija and I'm still kinda down remembering the whole unfairness ...so husband is suggesting this america trip,we have a family friend that's ready to invite and it will be total new experience for me.. now my fear is won't the VO start thinking why I stayed in dubai for 3months when I have a job in naija? Won't it display some sort of idleness...ofcourse I can't start explaining d suspension ish.. big red flag! Pls I don't knw how to dodge this red flag.. our HR is ready to even giive me all necessary documents from my coy for the trip.. my only fear is just the 3months I spent in dubai. even if I decide not to travel to usa for now.. no matter the time I wanna travel, this 3months willl always show up on my passport, my husband said I shd say my coy was having issues that period but what if they confirm.. or I went for a 3months course or which kind leave I go for for 3months but I really don't wanna lie. Pls help
